To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) EQUI-JOIN - This option is correct. An EQUI-JOIN is used to combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column between them.
Option B) NONEQUI-JOIN - This option is correct. A NONEQUI-JOIN is used to combine rows from two or more tables based on a condition that is not an equality.
Option C) SELF-JOIN - This option is correct. A SELF-JOIN is used to join a table to itself, treating it as two separate tables.
Option D) OUTER-JOIN - This option is correct. An OUTER-JOIN is used to combine rows from two or more tables, including unmatched rows from one or both tables.
Option E) MERGE-JOIN - This option is incorrect. A MERGE-JOIN is not a type of join. It is a technique used in query optimization to merge sorted data sets.
Option F) TRANSACTION-JOIN - This option is incorrect. A TRANSACTION-JOIN is not a type of join. It does not exist in the context of SQL joins.
The correct answer is A, B, C, and D. These options are correct because they represent different types of joins commonly used in SQL queries.
